Health

Today there is an emerging discussion about the physical and mental health benefits of forgiveness. Search terms you might use to explore these topics are: forgiveness, anger, depression, stress, religio* with a second term such as health or medic*, or narrower terms like cardiovascular, blood pressure, mental heal*, and psychological well-being.
                                                
Books: ALiCat and I-Share both showed books using the words forgiveness and health. These titles contained chapters exploring this topic.

Databases: Try Academic Search Premier and Lexis Nexis for articles in popular sources like magazines and newspapers. Many times these articles will give you the name of a researcher or refer to other terms to explore. This would also be the best resource for the most current ideas.

For research articles or medical studies on forgiveness and health, use your terms in Academic Search Premier, CINAHL, Pre-CINAHL, Health Source Consumer and Nursing editions, Medline and PsycInfo.

Websites: The best website to explore the medical aspects of forgiveness is PubMed. There is a link off the Sciences page or you can explore it directly at: http://www.pubmed.gov. Go back to Augustana’s Periodicals to see if we have links to the journals available for the full text of these articles. If they are not available, order the articles through InterLibrary Loan.

For scholarly articles in religion and philosophy regarding forgiveness and the Holocaust, try the following:

Religion Index (ATLA)
A database containing citations and full text to more than 1100 international journals, essays, and publications in religion and related fields. Try searching the keyword terms "Holocaust" and/or "forgiveness." Other search terms that may generate results are "repentance" and "antisemitism."

Arts & Humanities Search
Indexes articles, bibliographies, editorials, letters, and reviews in more than 1,300 of the world's leading arts and humanities journals.  This database indexes several philosophy journals, and may lead you to more information regarding the concept of forgiveness.

Social Sciences

A. Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a term recognized by the American Psychological Association; in psychology literature, also look under conflict resolution, social interaction, apology, and reconciliation for further information.  In sociology, forgiveness is not often discussed independently in reference materials; look for information on conflict resolution and social conflict.

Consider the myriad ways that the theme of forgiveness relates not only to the issues implicit in The Sunflower—World War II, anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, etc.—but its broader implications: war/conflict, bigotry/hatred, genocide throughout history, political tension, etc.

Forgiveness can also be considered on a more personal level, as it is a factor in all relationships between humans.  It is often studied in connection with abusive relationships, marital conflict, suicide, death, etc., but is an aspect of all interpersonal relationships.

The suggested terms to look up are just starting points; you will likely find much more additional information by looking up other relevant terms as well.  For further information, be sure to consult the bibliography/“further reading” sections at the end of encyclopedia entries.

Reference Materials:

Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms (REF BF31 .T49 2005): “forgiveness”
This thesaurus enables you to locate terms that are related to a given topic, and will guide your searches in other psychological resources such as the electronic database PsycINFO.  A search for “forgiveness” reveals the related terms “conflict resolution,” “religious beliefs,” and “social interaction.”

Encyclopedia of Human Emotions (REF BF531 .E55 1999): “forgiveness”; see also “anger,” “empathy,” and “sympathy”
This encyclopedia includes an in-depth entry on forgiveness, including a definition of the term, an explanation of the process, and connections between forgiveness and race/gender differences.  Consult its extensive list of bibliographic references as well.

The Social Science Encyclopedia (REF H41 .S63 1996): “conflict, social” 
Because sociology as a discipline focuses on societies and groups (and their relationships with other groups and with individuals), you’ll find less emphasis on forgiveness—which tends to be more of an individual process—and more discussion of broader concepts, such as social conflict and conflict resolution.  Nevertheless, forgiveness often plays a role; it may instead be referred to as amnesty or reconciliation.

International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences (REF H41 .I58 2001)
Consult the index (Volume 26) under “conflict” and “conflict resolution.”  Each broad topic is subdivided into its more specific components/areas of study, and the index will direct you to the appropriate book within this 26-volume set.

Encyclopedia of Violence (REF HM291 .D4857 1993): “revenge”
This entry explores the interesting—and seemingly ironic—connection between forgiveness and revenge in the section entitled “Justice, Equity, and Revenge.”

The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Sociology (REF HM425 .B53 2007): “conflict (racial/ethnic),” “conflict theory”

The Blackwell Companion to Social Movements (REF HM881 .B53 2004): “conflict,” “ethnic conflict”

Encyclopedia of Community (REF HM756 .E53 2003): “conflict resolution”

International Encyclopedia of Marriage and Family (REF HQ9 . E52 2003): “forgiveness,” “conflict: couple relationships,” “conflict: parent-child relationships,” etc.
This encyclopedia explores the nature of forgiveness in itself and within the context of various types of interpersonal relationships.  Each entry has an extensive bibliography.

Macmillan Encyclopedia of Death and Dying (REF HQ1073 .M33 2003): “forgiveness”

Books:

To find books written from a social sciences perspective about forgiveness in ALiCat and I-Share, “search by subject” for:
-Forgiveness
-Amnesty
-Reconciliation
-Conflict (books may discuss how conflicts were resolved)

Databases:

Many of the databases listed in “Social Sciences” under “Search by Subject” on the library homepage will have information on forgiveness.

▪ In the First Person
This resource leads you to the first-person narratives (diaries, oral histories, etc.) of English speakers from around the world.  Do a  “Quick Search” for “forgiveness” on the homepage, then follow the “fulltext” link.  The results discuss forgiveness from the narrator’s perspective within a variety of geographic, ethnic, and temporal backgrounds.

▪ JSTOR
All of the over 600 journals in JSTOR are available in full text, dating back to the journal’s first issue (some dating back to the 1800s).  Try an advanced search for “forgiveness” and change the drop-down menu to “title” or “abstract” to narrow your search.  JSTOR includes sources from nearly every discipline, so your results will be varied.

▪ PsycINFO
Forgiveness is often a highly personal matter; psychologists have thoroughly investigated the motives behind and the process of forgiveness.  Start with a basic search for “forgiveness,” then focus further based on your specific interests by using the links under “Narrow Results by Subject” on the left side of the screen.

▪ Social Sciences Abstracts
This database includes references from fields across the social sciences; your results for a basic search for “forgiveness” will likely generate a lot of results from psychology and sociology, but you may find political science information as well (try searching for “amnesty” as well).

B. Anti-Semitism/The Holocaust/World War II

Many resources for these topics will be within the fields of history and religion; however, many sociologists and politicians have also examined the complex interactions between groups and the powerful political forces that led to the rise of the Nazi party and the condoned genocide of the Holocaust.

As with the theme of forgiveness, consider how the social sciences’ examination of these issues relates to the broader ideas of  war/conflict, bigotry/hatred, genocide throughout history, political tension, etc.
The suggested terms to look up are just starting points; you will likely find much more additional information by looking up other relevant terms as well.  For further information, be sure to consult the bibliography/“further reading” sections at the end of encyclopedia entries.

Reference Materials:

The Social Science Encyclopedia (REF H41 .S63 1996): “Nazism,” “anti-Semitism,” “Holocaust,” etc. 

Handbook of Social Theory (REF H61 .H36 2001): “Nazism,” “anti-Semitism,” “Holocaust,” etc.
This reference tool analyzes specific topics in sociology from the perspectives of specific sociologists and in the context of specific social theories. 

Aggression and Conflict (REF HM136 .L46 1994): “genocide,” “ethnocide”

Encyclopedia of Genocide (REF HV6322.7 .E53 1999): “Hitler, Adolf,” “Holocaust,” etc.
This encyclopedia is an excellent tool for beginning an exploration of genocide, not only as it relates to the Holocaust, but also instances of genocide throughout history and throughout the world.  Besides general entries on the broad topics listed above, you can also search the index for specific individuals, specific countries/governments, specific concentration camps, etc.  Each entry includes an excellent “References and Recommended Reading” section at the end.

The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Sociology (REF HM425 .B53 2007): “Nazism,” “Holocaust,” “genocide,” “socialism”

War (REF HM1121 .W37 2005)
This book, part of the “Opposing Viewpoints” series, examines war from multiple angles, investigating some of the causes of war (religion, globalization, etc.) and its resolution. 

Encyclopedia of European Social History (REF HN373 .E63 2001): “Holocaust,” “Nazism,” “Germany, Nazi,” “anti-Semitism”
This encyclopedia examines topics within a broader context; for example, the Holocaust is discussed as part of entries discussing “The World Wars and the Depression” and “Rituals and Fascism.”  The index (Volume 6) is indispensable.

Books:

To find books written from a social sciences perspective about the Holocaust, anti-Semitism, and Nazism in ALiCat and I-Share, “search by subject” for:
-Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945): There are many narrower subjects within this broad one, which narrow the focus by country, type of literature, and other subtopics (economics, public opinion, influence, etc.)           
-World War, 1939-1945—Jews
-World War, 1939-1945—Jewish resistance
-Antisemitism
-Antisemitism—history
-Totalitarianism
-National socialism
-Germany—Politics and government—1933-1945

Databases:

Many of the databases listed in “Social Sciences” under “Search by Subject” on the library homepage will have information on genocide in general, as well as the Holocaust specifically.

▪ CIAO (Columbia International Affairs Online)
This resource contains information published from 1991-present, and so may not have as much information on the Holocaust as other resources.  However, genocide continues to be an issue today.  On CIAO’s homepage, choose “Genocide” from the “All subjects” drop-down menu.

▪ Family & Society Studies Worldwide
This resource contains information from a variety of disciplines within the social sciences.  A basic search for “Holocaust” leads to over 500 results; clicking on the “view database record” link next to any relevant source brings up an abstract as well as linked index terms leading to other sources about that topic.

▪ Gallup Brain
Gallup Brain allows online access to over 70 years of public opinion data.  To discover what American citizens thought of World War II and the Holocaust as they were taking place, click on the “Search” tab, then choose the 1940s in the “Need Help Getting Started?” box.  At the bottom of the page, you’ll find links to data related to the Holocaust and WWII.

▪ In the First Person
This resource leads you to the first-person narratives (diaries, oral histories, etc.) of English speakers from around the world.  Do a  “Quick Search” for “Holocaust” on the homepage, then choose the last, “subject terms” link.  The resulting list allows you to read—and in some cases, watch and/or listen to—the accounts of Holocaust survivors, Jewish children of the Holocaust, etc.

▪ Social Sciences Abstracts
This database includes references from fields across the social sciences; your results for a basic search for “genocide” will likely generate results from a variety of disciplines, including political science, sociology, and anthropology.  Use the links under “Narrow Results by Subject” to focus your search further based on your specific interests.

Speech Communication

Although one can view the Holocaust and forgiveness through many different lenses related to speech communication, we focus here on forgiveness and interpersonal relationships. For a list of personal narratives by Holocaust victims and survivors, see the Literature section.

Reference Materials:

Explore the following handbooks for reviews of the literature. These will lead you to articles and books that include studies of forgiveness and communication:

            Handbook of Interpersonal Communication  (REF BF637 .C45 H287 2002)
